i wouldnt put the man there, but to me changing the type from structure to factory and leaving the transport role the same sounds good to me.

the thing with strategic icons is that people are used to what they are, so any change initially leads to some dislike but you get used to it over time (i promise!)

so overall i dont mind either way, i think i might put it in my retarded strategic icons mod when i get back from my break )

I never really paid attention to the Quantum Gateway icon so I'm perfectly fine with the change. It'll take time to adjust but that should not make a difference. The black icon represents an ACU? I like the design but maybe work out an icon that doesn't touch the border. That'll make it clearer in the game I think.

Ah! At long last someone proclaims themselves against.

Why? just because of simple habit?
